    Is Final Fantasy 10 Worth Playing In 2023?
    Originally released in 2001 Final Fantasy 10 is what many and I mean MANY fans of the series call the last real Final Fantasy experience,
    Do I agree with that? Absolutely not, I think it’s a dumb arguement overall but that’s not what this video is about
    In the 21 years since its original release it has held up extremely well as far as its reputation goes, it’s arguably what many fans of the series suggest as a good entry point into Final Fantasy as a whole, and honestly I have to agree.
    10 is that balance of having what made the original 9 games so special to many fans whilst being able to blend and mix in more modern design choices through both the gameplay and story telling side of things.
    I love Final Fantasy X, in fact it’s my favourite entry in the series. It means so much to me on a personal level that I can’t even put it into words but if this makes my feelings any clearer this game made me feel emotions nothing else had ever managed to before, it is a game that stayed in my heart ever since I played it for the first time.
    So with all that said let’s take a look at Final Fantasy 10 from a 2022 perspective, 21 years after it’s release, and see if it’s still worth dedicating time and playing for you or anyone else who may be interested.

    FFX is the game that helped me break out of my shell and begin to explore the things i personally love. I grew up in a hood around tons of gangs both in and out of family. Liking these kinds of games were almost taboo because of how much flak and stuff you'll get from friends and family. I just was sick of always being around fights, drama, and sleepless nights i started playing games like GTA, Fighting games. Only "hood" games. But once i exhausted those I was given FFX from a school friend because he said it sucked. I was always home alone so once i popped this game in, instantly i was hooked after the first time in Zanarkand. That friday when i went back home to be alone for more or less through the whole weekend when family left on a trip i spent the entire time heating up ramen and playing FFX late into the night, through the whole weekend. I'll never forget FFX that was one of the first games where i truly immersed myself in a fantasy, and when i learned i was into goth chicks, ty lulu. This game will always have a special place in my soul.

    When this game came out I was Rikku's age (14), I just played it again recently now that I am Auron's age (35). This game has aged far better than I have, still has my favorite turn based fighting mechanics and still the most fun leveling system of any game I've played.

      Ditto this. Im 39 this year. FFX was my first Final Fantasy and is still my favorite. I played 7 and 8 and tried to play 9 afterward. Great games, but Squall and Cloud were the same brooding character, a common trope (Auron is similar). I liked that Tidus wasn't perfect or that annoying "walking into the wind" character. His goofy ass grows and he shows flaws (he cried more than once). The only character I didn't enjoy was the Ronso. Also, I dodged 200 lightning bolts...

It’s hands down the best FF game ever made if you look at them just as games in terms of how good a game they are, gameplay, story, soundtrack, world building etc.. No other FF comes close.. But people have their favourites of course and will feel certain ways about each one.. Still, hands down the best, almost perfect

    Only game that I ever cried at. Every detail about this game is transporting, and if you play it during a pivotal point in your own development you will may get dangerously close to ending it all out of the despair you feel for the fact that you have to leave this world and come back to reality. The game is pure power, poetry, passion. A true masterpiece from a long lost era in game development. Be ready to play one of, if not the best, game ever created. And I don’t stake that claim lightly. Praise be to Yevon.

      The cutscenes are still amazing even by modern standards. Full mo-cap with genuinely good acting and voice acting is something that's still surprisingly rare.
      And yes, we do know that it's full mo-cap, because of boundary break discovering that many in-engine cutscenes actually extend beyond the camera's perspective, which pretty much straight up would never happen with non mocap.

But equally not all of us made it, a best mate of mine adored this game, like it was his thing. He ended up losing his battle to depression. Time stopped for him, but for the rest of us, we've all had to grow up. 21 fkn years...

    I played this game for the first time last year, it was my first Final Fantasy game and it absolutely blew me away. I think I ended up putting more than 200 hours into it in the end. I absolutely adore the soundtrack so much that I ended up travelling to another country to go see the Distant Worlds concert just weeks after my first ever FF game, and was absolutely blessed to witness Rikki in the flesh singing Suteki Da Ne. I honestly teared up a little at both that and To Zanarkand.

    • @breensprout
      @breensprout Год назад

      oh i agree, i loooove the soundtrack. i don't love every single region theme but i love to zanarkand, suteki da ne, and the hymn of the faythe (and how there are so many different renditions of it depending which temple you're at!), and how the themes of those three songs in particular are repeated as motifs in many different tracks. via purifico is another beautiful one, and i know the battle theme gets really annoying after a while but as an individual composition it's very cool. and then of course there's that rock song that plays in the opening cutscene and one of the last ones that is so hype. and i think ffx as well does a very good job of capturing the mood of the location/cutscene/boss fight through music which surprisingly i can't say about all games. the music really enhances the game.

In that moment, I knew, I KNEW I would fall in loe with this world. It continues to be my top video game ever played and inspires and influences my writings as well.

    There are two things i like to bring up about the hallway concept here. Number 1, treasures aren't shown on ff10 map, so when you're exploring any slightly small path, the reward is a surprise, where in ff13 you can quickly learn to avoid branching paths if you know there is nothings.
    Second in ff10 the hallway design is filled with things to interact with. as you progress, there are less and less people, and things that are interesting which reflects the progression of the story. in ff13, the hallways really are hallways, there is almost never anyone to talk to, never a point of interest, just background. (very pretty background in ff13)

  • @Keithhaskins
    @Keithhaskins Год назад +1

    Great video, Prez! I agree with most of your points. However, here are a few dissensions:
    1) I actually like most of the trials. The first 2-3 are honestly quite easy, with the only mistakes you can make are missing the destruction spheres and the accompanying item. I would say that Macalania one is definitely tedious, but just escaping is not too bad. It definitely becomes worse trying to get and use the destruction sphere. Bevelle is the only one that I genuinely hate replaying through. I hate having to time the platforms, especially when they have pretty small windows. This one can get bent. The Zanarkand one I like as well, even though it does go on for a little too long. Pretty good overall, especially since there’s not any truly annoying elements. Overall, the trials to me are fun and a good change of pace, and I don’t think they overstay their welcome. Might be because I absolutely love puzzles in games… part of the reason why I love the Legend of Zelda series so much.
    2) The voice acting is acceptable. The only parts I remember being genuinely bad are a few parts where the lines feel artificially sped up for some reason. I can’t remember specific examples, but they felt like they’re being said in double time or something lol. It’s super weird and doesn’t seem natural at all.
    3) Blitzball! One of the best mini(?) games of all time! Can easily play several games a play-through just for fun. I think the problem is where you’re having to play potentially hundreds of games in order to get Wakka’s Attack Reels and the celestial item (can’t remember which). If you know how to game the system, you can do this in much less time, but 14 year old me playing this when it first came out with no access to internet had no idea and just kept pushing though and pushing through and pushing through, hoping I would get the items I needed as prizes… talk about miserable.
    Still, really solid review. This game is easily my second favorite game of all time behind Majora’s Mask (can you tell I love games with phenomenal world building?). I can tell it’s somewhere up on the list for you as well. Glad I got to watch your video and hope that you get more subs based on the quality of your work and the amount of effort you put in!

The sound track is a 10/10 I regularly just listen to the whole thing top to bottom no bad songs. It's got its quirks and imperfections but what game doesn't? I don't know if I'll ever have a game effect me emotionally like the end of FFX did. Even though I wanted Tidus to end up with Rikku and Lulu made young teenage me feel odd things the story was so good it made me care about Yuna even though she was my 3rd favorite lol.

    FFX was my very first experience in the series, so that makes is special for me. Also was the very first time that I feel like these real emotions for a videogame, I shed tears by the end. So I can relate to some things you say about this game. It is also special to me.

    The one thing that made me really love FFX is that it focuses on a theme that’s kind of niche in video games; religion. Its not just present through visuals but it’s heavily involved in the game. The criticisms of it and how the world depends on it. Its really interesting and I don’t think I’ve seen many games that has this much religious themes in it.

Always a toss up between this and 7 for me. I ayed this when I was 14 though, so the story hit differently for me. And yes, the intro Blitzball scene is the best gaming intro EVER. 👌

Not just for what it is, but for what it accomplishes: an extremely well-made game with amazing gameplay, story, characters, and world complete with good voice acting & gorgeous 3D environments. Also, Tidus & Yuna's relationship is a bit similar to Alphen & Shionne's.

It is actually one of the beat games created and this was back just when the PS2 came out. The leveling up system with the aphere grid is one of the most genious ways to skill up in gaming, and nothing has beat it since. If you havent try it, just way for that opening scene to hit you in the face.

    This year, I finally beat Penance after finding out of his existance 20 years ago. I had the longest lasting blood feud with the idea of fighting it, and after two days of straight calculated grinding, I made my way up to it and beat him fair and square (aka no Yojimbo).
